A troubled man makes an effort to talk to a woman who repeatedly rents hardcore porn at the video rental store where he works. He turns into part stalker, part healer, as they help each other though their personal issues and deeper troubles that are revealed as the movie plays out.

Jason Ritter and Marianna Palka both did good jobs, and it's always nice to see Martin Starr and Charles Durning.

The best part of "Good Dick" was the scenes when the boy was working at the video rental store, but most of the dialogue that goes on during these scenes has nothing to do with the story. These scenes bring plenty of humor to certain situations, but most of it is meaningless and the movie would be fine, if ...
